Gas production growth over the near term is expected to be driven by the Daman, C26, S1/Vashistha and Basse in fields. Gas produced from S1/Vashistha is likely to command premium pricing. Commencement of production from the KG-DWN-98/2 block could see some delay from the earlier planned mid-2019. A total of 34 wells need to be drilled.A total of three rigs are expected to be deployed, with each rig drilling one well in three months. ONGC had recently acquired a stake in GSPC's KG basin block. Rig rates for this block are being renegotiated, post which the fifth well would be drilled by the company. A plan for further development would be charted after getting data from the fifth well. We expect further delays in the project

Production growth of 5%/9% in FY18/19 led by gas volume growth of 9%/17%. With H1FY18 volume growth already at 5%, ONGC is confident of achieving its FY18 volume guidance; Opex will decline by 10-15% due to ~30% decline in dayrates of rigs/ OSVs though partially offset by higher manpower costs

Our TP is Rs 209/sh (10x Sep-19E standalone + OVL EPS and Rs21 from investments). Maintain NEUTRAL. ONGC's 2QFY18 EBITDA was muted at Rs 104.7bn (+8.5% YoY), led by higher oil realisations (+2.7%), increase in gas production from domestic fields (+8% YoY), and lower opex. However, these factors are offset by lower gas realisations (-19% YoY). Additionally, higher exploration write-offs (Rs 13.3bn, +143.5% YoY), depreciation, depletion and impairment costs dragged PAT to Rs 51.3bn (+3%).
